Features: This book is one of the major works of Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951) and an early important work of logical positivism. The author denies causality in this book, asserts that propositions in logic and mathematics are tautological in nature, and claims that all the controversial issues in the history of philosophy are meaningless. The task of philosophy is merely the logical analysis of language, i.e., the clarification of ordinary language. This idea has had a profound influence on the development of later analytic philosophy... This book includes: Preface by the English Translator; Introduction; Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus; Index; Postscript by the Translator.
